Core Melt Relocation

Core Melt Relocation is a severe accident phenomenon in nuclear reactor safety analysis denoting the gravitational movement and redistribution of molten core materials from their original position within the reactor core to lower regions of the reactor vessel or containment following the failure of core geometry during a meltdown.
